Bake Along — Support

Allergies: Bake Along never labels a recipe safe. Allergens are flagged on every ingredient and the note you write is pinned to the top of each list, but ingredients and factory practices change. Always read the labels yourself.

Who the app is for

Children aged about 7 to 10, baking with a grown-up in the house. Every step that involves the oven, the stove or anything sharp is marked red, stops, and waits for an adult — a child cannot tap past it.

Common questions

Do I have to pay?

No. Three recipes are free forever, with no time limit and nothing switched off. The Full Kitchen is one payment, not a subscription, and it covers the family through Family Sharing.

Why are some worlds locked?

Worlds open as your child finishes the one before, so a layer cake arrives after they can crack an egg. If you would rather see everything now, a grown-up can open the whole map: Grown-ups → Open all worlds. It is behind the arithmetic gate so a child can't switch it on.

My child can't get past a step.

Red steps need an adult to tap "I'm here — I'll do this", and a running timer holds the step until it finishes or you stop it. Both are deliberate.

The timer ran out and it isn't done.

Tap +1 min or +5 min under the dial. Ovens aren't stopwatches.

Can two children use one iPad?

Yes. Tap the picture in the top right of the Kitchen to add a baker. Each one keeps their own passport, badges and allergy note, and the purchase covers all of them.

Can I turn the voice off?

Yes — tap "Read aloud" in the top right of any step. It is on by default because a child at a counter with buttery hands should be able to listen rather than read.

How do I delete everything?

Delete a baker in Grown-ups → Bakers, or delete the app. Nothing is stored anywhere else — see the privacy policy.

Restoring a purchase

Grown-ups → Restore purchase, signed in with the Apple ID that bought it.
